Hi all! I have a Mercedes w212 e220, Om651 Year 2010 and I want to replace the mount engine both of them. Can anyone help me with some procedures I must do because I do not see much documentation on the web. I must lose DPF and other stuff? And can you tell me from where it is better to lift the engine in order to not damage something

I did it on my E250 Bt (same engine) last spring.
Driver side is easy, but for passenger side I had to remove DPF and then it was easy.
Your engine might not have DPF, so check the access.

Hi kajtek, and thanks for your answer. Can you please tell me from where you lifted your engine? Tomorrow, I will start to replace the mounts. So if you can reply, it will be awesome. I have seen in some videos they lift the engine from below, but the oil pan is made from plastic.. I do not want to break it. My car have dpf you remove it completely, or you just Loosen it. Thanks

Frankly, I don't remember.
I have lift with cross member and somewhere I found a point where I could put bottle jack between lift and solid part on the engine.
For passenger side mount, DPF has to go out. I tried special wrenches and it did not work. With DPF removed it is child's play.
Since I removed DPF few times before, with lift it is 20 minutes job for me.

Can you please tell me how long this took, and if you had any help. I booked a self station for tomorrow and I want to know if it will take longer than 3 hours.

Lot will depend on your skills and experience.
At this point, I could do both MM on lift with slightly above 1 hr.
Even if you have skills, the learning curve doing the job 1st time, usually triple the time.

Great. Thanks. Your replys are highly appreciate. Do you tight the bolt at a specific torque?

With my experience I have "torque wrench build into my hands" and since fitting big wrench there would be very difficult to, I used natural resources.

So I changed yesterday my engine mounts, and I want to share with you how I did it. Like you have said on the left side is child play... You can change it very easy. First I lift the engine a bit from above it have 2 place from where you can do this, after I loosen the upper screw with 16 fix rench on both side and the 2 bottom screw. After I put a jack under the gear box to lift the engine even more. The left don't you can take him out easy. For the right side I had to lose the steering box. You have a metal plate with six screw. And after the mont, have enough space to revive it and put the new one... All the reparation I have done it in 2 hours. My car was a w212 e220 2010 engine on 651. With five-speed
